Regarding Paul Trusten's USMA 25961, I try to remember to avoid using the term SI until I have spelled it out as the "International System of Units (SI), the metric system" either as the subject line or in its first mention in a letter or email

Last week, I sent her something I had written, and it was peppered with the acronym "SI". She, a music teacher and a lifelong European, wrote back to me asking what "SI" stood for, and of course,I replied with an explanation She is only one person, but it got me to thinking---is the acronym familiar to most people who use that measurement system?
